I just use an Akai MPK Mini (1st generation). Simple pads, knobs and a 2 octave keyboard in one. Works a blinder for me so far and could probably be bought used for 30 - 40 quid. If you want to hit things with sticks that's a different story... This might still be available (no affiliation):

I have a 2014 11" i7 Macbook Air (8gb RAM, SSD) and a 2012 imac 21.5" (recently upgraded with 16gb RAM and internal SSD - screen off job, hairy!). Both are great machines and have handled everything I've thrown at them so far - garageband wouldn't sweat either of them. I'm not running the latest OS version as it was plagued with problems on release... The laptop cost me 400, the iMac was 300 but seems to be coming down in price now. My previous mac mini was a 2011 i5 2.3 with RAM and SSD maxed out and it was a flying machine!

I like the look of that, but it'll be eye-wateringly expensive...

That's pretty incredible value

A friend's '64 P, refinished in black sometime in the late night 60s. It feels ALIVE! I've given up searching for "The One" as I've found it, and it can never be mine...

I/we just received an Oly White CV Mustang the other day, brand new, and I'm very, VERY impressed with it. I bought it for myself under the pretence that my 8 year old son needed it as he was taking up bass... Now he has nicked it... Little git... Got to put a good word in for DV247. Cheapest I could find and came to Northern Ireland from Germany in 3 days. It could end up costing me a clean fortune though. It's already has me contacting Alan at ACG about a short scale neck for my Recurve 5, and that has moved on to a possible scratch build short scale 5. We'll see when the furlough has passed...

You don't look at the mantelpiece when you're poking the fire...

Folded. Ordered from DV247. Wee fella will be very chuffed with this I think!

Not much different from any other short scale bass then!

A few places showing them in stock now, although we all know that could be wishful thinking! I might find out over the next 24-48 hours of my wanted ads aren't suitably fruitful...

I wish these were available now... The eldest is taking up bass. Would make choosing a bass for him much easier!

Has anybody had a chance to get their hands on one of these yet? What's the verdict? My eldest (8, but a big 8, wears age 14 clothes) is struggling with my selection of full scale basses and he doesn't like the look of the 2 Ibanez short scale offerings... That's my excuse to buy one of these for myself!

Ibanez 28" scale 6, Ibanez fan fret 7, GOC Materia 8 headless fan fret... can't play any of them...

Didn't apple just recently release a bass amp sound pack for GB? I'd go direct and play with sounds internally myself.

Fender Rumble 500 all the live long day...

Beautiful! Health to enjoy!

I see Harley Benton have entered the fray at the budget end of things with an frfr 1x12 for guitar. Looks like a repurposed PS cab they already have in their line but with different firmware for guitar cab presets. Has anyone tried any of the HB stuff for frfr for bass?

Schmexy!

Nope, never had the need Edit: but if I did ever have the need the P7 would be on the list of probables!
